“#’Cyberpunk 2077′ launches on PlayStation 4 \u2014 with a warning<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

More than six months since its problematic initial release, the sci-fi adventure game<\/a> \u201cCyberpunk 2077\u201d has finally launched on the PlayStation Store. <\/p>\n

The unveiling comes after Sony removed the game from the store in December 2020 following widespread complaints about glitches.<\/p>\n

The controversial video game was plagued by constant crashes and disastrous bugs \u2014 vehicles disapp<\/a>eared and characters were trapped in looping animations. An online form was also set up for players to claim refunds for the game.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s developer, CD Projekt Red, spent months following the game\u2019s release apologizing to players who experienced technical issues, promising many fixes. This comes after several other delays in its initial release, which was slated for April 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working hard to bring \u2018Cyberpunk 2077\u2032 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible,\u201d\u00a0CD Projekt Red said<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077 is now available at PlayStation Store. Work on the PS4 version continues, with fixes and updates to be released throughout the year: https:\/\/t.co\/XWCfOEQrLS<\/a> For the best experience on PlayStation, playing on PS4 Pro or PS5 consoles is recommended.<\/p>\n

However, that promise was not fully kept. Last week, the developer warned that the game would still face major challenges on the PS4. While some glitches are patched, others will continue to be fixed in the next few months.<\/p>\n

On the PlayStation Store, the game\u2019s page states, \u201cPurchase for use on PS4 systems is not recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Xbox One version also experienced major glitches and bugs \u2014 Microsoft added a warning label on its Xbox store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to start by apologizing to you for not showing the game on base last-gen consoles before it premiered and, in consequence, not allowing you to make a more informed decision about your purchase,\u201d\u00a0CD Projekt Red said<\/a> in December, not long before it was hit with a\u00a0class-action lawsuit alleging that the Warsaw, Poland-based company lied about the game\u2019s unfinished state to protect its stock price.<\/p>\n

In February, a cyberattack slowed work on fixes for the game, which further pushed back the release date.<\/p>\n

The delays in fixing issues on the PS4 \u2014 and the announcement that the game will best run on the PS4 Pro or PS5 consoles \u2014 are not the only blow to the game\u2019s success. Although the game sold more than 13 million copies in its first week, the company provided no new sales figures for \u201cCyberpunk 2077\u201d in a recent conference call to investors. Analysts now predict the game will experience very low sales for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe degree to which this thing crashed and burned was monumental even for an industry that has seen its share of trainwrecks, a narrative somehow even more tragic for the fact that the game was pretty good on PC, at least if you had adequate hardware,\u201d wrote Dave Thier for Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The timeline for additional upgrades to the game is still unclear, especially when a free upgrade to an enhanced PS5 version is not due until the latter half of 2021.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
